[0002] The automobile swing arm is an important component of the automobile chassis suspension system, which is divided into two types: steering gear swing arm and steering knuckle swing arm. The steering gear swing arm is installed on the steering gear output shaft, and swings in a fan shape with the rotation of the steering gear output shaft. It is connected to the steering knuckle swing arm through a straight tie rod. Turning the steering wheel can drive the steering wheel to make a steering movement. The steering knuckle swing arm is installed on the steering knuckle, and a complete steering linkage structure is formed through a straight tie rod and a horizontal tie rod. It swings with the steering gear swing arm to realize the steering of the car.
[0003] The automobile swing arm is also the connecting mechanism between the frame and the wheels, which plays the role of supporting the body, reducing shock and adjusting the direction of the vehicle. If the automobile swing arm is damaged, it may lead to reduced handling and comfort, reduced safety performance, abnormal noise, inaccurate positioning parameters, deviation, and wear or damage to other parts. Therefore, the automobile swing arm is crucial to the stability and safety of vehicle driving, and fatigue testing is required for this product. However, most of the traditional fatigue test tools realize unidirectional and concentric loading, which cannot simulate the force of the actual vehicle. When conducting eccentric tests, copper sleeves or guide shafts will be installed on the cylinder to withstand another non-parallel force, which will accelerate the wear of the guide shaft and copper sleeve, resulting in a gap, and then the force will be borne by the cylinder, causing it to be damaged.

[0021] Example
[0022] The following is further described in conjunction with specific embodiments. Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, this embodiment is a swing arm loading fatigue test fixture, including a first loading component 1, a bushing fixing block 5 and a second loading connection block 3, the second loading connection block 3 is connected to the middle section of the workpiece 4, the bushing fixing block 5 is rotatably connected to one end of the workpiece 4; a fixing seat 2, a latch flange 7 is installed on the fixing seat 2, the other end of the workpiece 4 is inserted into the latch flange 7, and a linear guide assembly 6 is connected to the bottom of the fixing seat 2; the first loading component 1 is connected to one side end face of the fixing seat 2, so that the first loading component 1 applies pressure to the workpiece 4; specifically, the utility model The rotating end of the arm is hinged with the bushing fixing block 5, and the rotating column at the other end of the swing arm is inserted into the hole of the pin flange 7. The second loading connection block 3 presses downward vertically to apply pressure on the middle section of the swing arm, and the first loading component 1 applies pressure laterally on the swing arm to achieve two-way loading of the swing arm, better simulate the actual vehicle conditions, and the fatigue test is more accurate. When the first loading component 1 acts on the fixed seat 2, the fixed seat 2 can slide horizontally on the linear guide assembly 6. The support of the linear guide assembly 6 also avoids the damage to the oil cylinder of the first loading component 1 caused by the lateral force of the second loading connection block 3.
[0023] Reference Figure 2 As shown, the first loading assembly 1 in this embodiment includes a first connecting seat 11, a connecting rod 12 and a second connecting seat 13. The first connecting seat 11 is connected and fixed to the side end surface of the fixed seat 2, and the two ends of the connecting rod 12 are rotatably connected to the first connecting seat 11 and the second connecting seat 13 respectively; specifically, the first connecting seat 11 and the second connecting seat 13 both adopt fisheye connecting seats, and when the cylinder is loaded and pressurized, the force is transmitted to the connecting rod 12, the first connecting seat 11, the fixed seat 2 and the latch flange 7 through the second connecting seat 13, and the latch flange 7 directly acts on the swing arm.
[0024] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the fixing seat 2 in this embodiment is an L-shaped structure, and the first connecting seat 11 and the second connecting seat 13 are located on a horizontal line; specifically, during normal testing, the horizontal test can ensure that all the loading force acts on the fixing seat 2.
[0025] It should be noted that if Figure 3 As shown, the linear guide rail assembly 6 in this embodiment includes a support plate 61, a slider 62, a slide rail 63 and a base 64. The slide rail 63 is installed on the base 64. The support plate 61 is arranged on the lower side of the fixed seat 2. The upper end surface of the slider 62 is connected and fixed to the bottom of the support plate 61. The lower side of the slider 62 is connected and cooperated with the slide rail 63. Furthermore, the movement of the first connecting seat 11 will drive the fixed seat 2, the support plate 61 and the slider 62 to slide relative to the slide rail 63 as a whole.
[0026] In order to ensure the force-bearing shape, it is necessary to ensure that the length direction of the slide rail 63 is consistent with the loading direction of the first loading assembly 1, and the slide rail 63 is provided with at least two symmetrically distributed on both sides of the support plate 61.
[0027] In addition, the second loading connection block 3 is a U-shaped structure, and its opening size is larger than the width of the swing arm. The swing arm can be inserted into the U-shaped opening of the second loading connection block 3, so that the lower end of the second loading connection block 3 is rotatably connected to the workpiece 4.
[0028] Because one end of the swing arm is bent and tilted, in order to adapt to it, the upper end surface of the latch flange 7 is an inclined structure, which is conducive to the access of one end of the swing arm to the latch flange 7.
[0029] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may be subject to various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
